Quote:
The instinct is to stiffen up and "straight-arm" the bike under stress but that makes things worse. Fight the instinct and stay loose, be aware that there's cross winds, and you'll soon find yourself making the needed corrections automatically. 
Exactly. If you'll relax your grip and keep your head up with your eyes looking ahead you'll naturally countersteer and it won't feel nearly as precarious. And, yes, you're going to move around in the lane a bit, just go with it. 
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
